The worship meeting on October 15 was planned by the worship committee whose chair- man was Shirley Shoup. Other members were Bernice Dietrich, Kathleen Moessner, Jeanette Franke, Anna Marie Schuhmacher, Lola Za- bokrtsky and Virginia Metz. The Y-Teens, during the first semester, sent a CARE package to Europe to so-me needy family. The girls donated for this fund on the evening of their World Fellowship Pro- gram which Miss Brauninger attended Since the Y-Teens have quite a large fund in the treasury, it was decided to adopt a girl of high school age in Hollond. This means each month the club will send 315 for the care of the child, or a total of 35180 for one year. Besides attending the conference at Fair- field, the girls also had a special evening meet- ing and a Christmas Party during the first semester. A number of times the girls played games or participated in other outdoor activi- ties, including a picnic in the Middle Park in fall, while the weather was still favorable. -Virginia Metz DES MOINES CONFERENCE Nineteen Y-Teens and their advisor, Miss Moershel, attended a music conference and Y. W. C. A. meeting at the Des Moines YWCA on March 20. The girls were given permission to use the bus and Mr. Selzer consented to drive. Upon registration, the girls went into the auditorium where a worship meeting was held from 10:00 until 10:30 A. M. This was follow- ed by a music workshop, directed by Miss Marie Oliver. She is music secretary of the National YWCA Board. The adults in the meantime held their annual Iowa District Y. W. C. A. meeting. Luncheon, at 12:30 P. M., was served in the first floor lounge of the Y. W. C. A. building. After dinner a panel discussion on Our Youth Is Our Tomorrow was conducted by various merlpbers of YWCA organizations and Y-Teen clu s. Mr. Selzer took the group on a tour of the capitol building and grounds before starting home. -Virginia Metz Y-TEEN SISTER The Amana Y-Teens have taken up the res- ponsibilities of caring for a girl who is very much in need of help. Through the Foster Parents' Plan, the girls will send 3515 a month for one year to care for the girl. Margaretha Jansen, a fourteen-year-old Dutch girl, is the Y-Teen's sister. She is now liv- ing with her mother in Amsterdam. Her fa- ther died during the war. She has suffered from malnutrition, traces of which are still to be found. She is now re- ceiving constant care and is checked regularly by a visiting doctor. Margaretha is very fond of music and would like to learn to play the piano. As all girls do, she has dreams of a career and would be very interested in becoming a seamstress. The Y-Teens are planning to send packages of food and clothing to Margaretha. It is their hope that she will be able to- forget the fears and dangers of the war years and to be- come a good citizen of her native country. -Virginia Metz Y-TEEN FALL CONFERENCE On October 25 twenty two Amana Y-Teens and their advisor attended the Southeast Area Y-Teen Conference at Fairfield. The school bus, driven by Mr. Selzer, provided the trans- portation for the girls. At the Fairfield High School the girls registered and were given a morning snack be- fore the opening of the conference in the aud- itorium. A welcome to the delegates by one of the Fairfield Y-Teens was followed by a wel- come from Mr. W. G. Pence, Superintendent of Schools at Fairfield. Next, the nominees for the 1947 Conference officers were introduced to the group. An address, Growing Up in Times Like These, by Miss Priscilla Welles, executive director of the YWCA at Newton, Iowa, was enjoyed by everyone. She told of her exper- iences at conferences in Oslo, Norway and Wendlesburg, Sweden, and of the fellowship between different races and nationalities and the opportunities and hardships of some of them. A discussion on Y-Teen Charm and Co-ed Activities was led by Miss Rosemary Lacquemont, Y-Teen director from Davenport. Lunch for all the girls was served in the high school cafeteria. Before entering the various workshops at one thirty, the girls spent the time in singing. The workshop groups consisted of service and world fellow- ship, publicity, membership and finance, mus- ic and worship, and vocations, from which the girls received ideas for their own local clubs. At two-thirty a business session was held in the auditorium. Candidates for the confer- ence offices were again introduced and cam- paign speeches given by their respective clubs. The Amana club' was selected to nominate a candidate for District Treasurer and Mary Jane Seifert was selected. Had she been elected, she would have succeeded Shirley Shoup, who held that job for the past year and served as both recorder and treasurer at the conference. A Clinto-n delegate gave a report on the Grinnell YMCA-YWCA Youth Conference of the past summer, and then the results of the election were announced. The installation ceremony for new officers, written by the Amana Y-Teens then took place, and the closing event of the clay was a worship service, the Albia Y-Teens being in charge. On the way home, as well as when going to Fairfield, the girls were in a singing moo-d, but hunger set in, and before finishing their journey home, they ate supper at a Sigourney restaurant. -Virginia Metz ISD-lb Y-TEEN PROGRAM On April 16 the Y-Teens sponsored an evening program, Variety Plus, for the purpose of raising money for the club.

IH-IN CHEESE COTTAGE On December 5 a large crowd gathered at the high school auditorium to see Cheese Cot- tage, the senior class play directed by Miss Moershel.' The action of the play begins when Judy fLillian Diclfelj and Evvy fShirley Shoupj en- ter the combined kitchen, living, dining, and bedroom of Breeze Cottage which they hare rented for the summer months at Fairyland Beach. 'The girls are abashed when they find a cottage with leaking roofs, a lack of beds, and other inconveniences instead of a three- room modern cabin. Gus Hinkle fReynold Moessnerj, a plumbing contractor with the temper 'of a 'wildcat, is the father of Evvy and Judy. Gus, a born pessimist, has made life. a misery for the girls and for his sister Liz QVir- ginia' Metzj. The girls decide that their aunt Liz, who has taken care of them since their mother died, needs a vacation, and bring her to Breeze Cottage. Gus has been induced to come to the beach for the summer, renames Breeze Cottage, Cheese Cottage, and then the fun begins. Bartholomew Rensaleer, a young plumber working for Mr. Hinkle fFred Hahnj, comes to Breeze Cottage at Gus's invitation and is forced to propose to Evvy. By this time she has been attracted to J. Orville Spence fRay- mond Oehlj, the real estate agent of Fairyland Beach. In fact, she has never cared for Bart and throughout the play is very cold toward him. Bart really loves Judy, but since he has orders to marry Evvy he doesn't dare reveal Mortimer, a wealthy widow fLill'an Bergerj, his true feelings. The plot thickens when Mrs. and the real owner of Fairyland Beach, comes to Breeze Cottage, and is invited to stay for the weekend. Uncle Cooney, Gus's brother fVer- non Smithj, and his number one enemy, adds to the complications by arriving unexpectedly at the over-crowded cottage. Alma Carlay, a bathing beauty QBetty Jane Lipmanj, friend of Evvy's, invites herself and even tries to win J. O. Spence's lo-ve. Gus roars, sputters, and literally throws himself through this three-act farce written by John Hershey. The third act brings about some surprising but happy conclusions. Judy and Bart plan to marry, Evvy has announced her engagement to Orry, Alma has a s'nging contract, Uncle Cooney has a plumbing con- tract, Gus has asked Mrs. Mortimer to become his wife, and Aunt Liz will get her much-need- ed rest. -Lillian Berger ....M..,T. A H. S. DRAMATICS HIGHLIGHTS Even though dramatics is not offered as a regular course in the Amana schools, they play an important part in the activities of the stu- dents. We felt that there moments in the dif- ferent school productions during the last few years, that would be remembered by most of us but do you remember - - Mary Jane and Glenn's extra-lo-o-ong-ng kiss in Tell Me Pretty Maiden to- which Mary's only explanation was, Well, Miss Moershel, you told us to wait for laughs. ? The handsomest actor on A. H. S. stage this year, Ronnie Hertel, as Lord Arthur Beaufoy in Tell Me Pretty Maidenn? Fred Hahn's hairdo in Cheese Cottagen? Bobby H.'s version of Feudin' and Fight- in' ? Fred Baumgartner, a living Dickin's char- acter? The sheepish looks on the high school stu- dents' faces after the excellent performance by the grade school pupils? Then of course, there were moments that the audience just doesn't know about such as -- Celebrating Betty and Lillian B.'s birthday at a rehearsal of Cheese Cottage and Miss M.'S during rehearsal of Tell Me Pretty Mai- den . Wier's picture serving as a mascot back- stage during Tell Me Pretty Maiden . Luggsy's toothache during the rehearsal of My I-Ieart's In High. HANSEI. AND GRETEL On April 2, 1948, the Amana Grade School glee club presented the operetta Hansel and Gretel, in the high school auditorium, under the direction of Mrs. James Beck, Miss Marie Zimmerman and Mr. W. C. Heinze. The characters in the cast were: Peter, a broom maker, Roger Gaddisg Gertrude, his wife, Gladys Shoup, Hansel, their son, John Dickelg Gretel, their daughter, Florence Oehlg the witch who eats little children, William McKinneyg the sandman who puts little child- ren to sleep, John Shoupg the Dawn Fairy who wakes up little children, Jean Bahndorf. The first act takes place in the interior of the cottage where the children are working, while their parents are out selling brooms. Weary of their work the children begin to play, Their mother comes home after an unsuccess- ful day and scolds them. She then sends them out to the woods to gather strawberries. Later the father returns, having been more success- ful, and brings with him some food. He asks about the children and is very perturbed when he learns they are out alone in the woods after nightfall. Both mother and father go o-ut in search of them. Act II finds Hansel and Gretel deep in the woods filling their baskets with strawberries. Having paid no heed to direction or time they suddenly find themselves amidst the darkness not knowing which way to turn. Eventide having brought with it its childish fears, they were soon seeing strange and fearful shapes. Finally they laid themselves down and fell asleep. Act III opens at daybreak. As the children awake they see before them a beautiful lttle ho-use made of sweets. This is the home of a very wicked witch who catches Small boys and girls and bakes them into gingerbread. Hansel and Gretel, entranced by the goodies of which the house is made, break off pieces from the walls. Soon the witch appears and casts a spell on them. She puts Hansel in a cage and wants to feed him until plump. She intends to push Gretel in the oven and bake her. In the meantime Hansel escapes from the cage and as the witch bends over the oven the children quickly push her in and shut the door. All the gingerbread shapes in front of the now transformed into the boys and once were. The father and mother searching for their children, then scene and all ends joyously. Between the first and second acts a chorus of flutes played Nearer My God to Thee, Lightly Row, and Braum's Lullaby. A flute sextette played My Bonnie between the second and third acts. --Marjorie Leichsenring ART EXHIBIT An exhibit of paintings from the Metropol- itan Museum of Art was seen by students and teachers of the Amana High School on March 16, 1948. This valuable collection of old mas- terpieces represented the work of great artists from the fifteenth to- tle nineteenth centuries. Everyone viewed such paintings as The Horse Fair by Rosa Bonheur with great interest as Mr. Nandquist, the guide, pointed out main features of the paintings. Other favorites of the group were Christ's Descent Into Hell, by a follower of Basch, Portrait of an Ad- miral's Wife, by Rembrandt Van Rijn and The Last Judgement, by Van Cleve. The collection was exhibited in the Art Building of the University of Iowa. After eating at thc Memorial Union, the students and teachers saw Panacea's present- ation of the musical comedy The Elegant Mr. Emperor. This student written and produced playl was given in the auditorium of Macbride Ha .

She returns to Cedar Grove House and Lady Beaufoy and is joyfully wel- comed by everyoneg and with the promise of an early marriage for Jack and Naomi, the curtains close on a happy scene. -Reynold Moessner MUSICAL MEMORIES Remember when . . How often these are inspired upon hearing a familiar song. The words of the song may bring to mind a special event or perhaps you heard or sang the song yourself at some special occasion. It may have been at a party or a program, a dance or a special date, or just an evening at home. A musical file in your menory is a wonder- ful thing to have. You will never forget the first song you sang at a school program or the first song you learned. It helps recall school activities such as operettas, programs, Y-Teens, and commencement. Ours Is the World will always make me recall the commencement exer- cises at which we sang this song. Carols will naturally remind one of everything connected with Christmas, but especially of Christmas eve at home with a tree and presents. There are many songs for special occasions, like Easter Parade, which will remind anyone of some season or holiday. The Skater's Waltz has always meant cold winter evenings at an ice pond with a large bonfire, to me. Perhaps one has seen a celebrity perform in person. The songs he or she sang or perform- ed will undoubtedly bring back memories. I can recall a whole program, in fact a whole day and flashes of a summer vacation, when I hear Perry Como sing Temptation, This would probably be a more personal memory than any I have mentioned up to now. In this present list would be hundreds of songs which would have a special meaning to one person or to only a few persons the same meaning. They will recall incidents which may be very significant or insignificant to you. They may be sentimental, whimsical, romantic, or sad memories which the songs recall, and yet they are all personal milestones in your musical life. Whatever the memory or what- ever the song, neither will be forgotten as long as they are brought together in a thought. Memories that linger are best recalled with a song. ---Rosemarie Lipman

were: Lillian Son- lil-lb MY WEEK IN Y-TEEN CAMP On june 24, 1947 Miss Moershel, Rose Ehrle, and I started on our trip to McGregor Heights to attend an eight day Y-Teen confer- ence. We arrived at the Heights about 4:30 P. M. Friday and the busses bringing girls from all over Iowa continued to arrive until 2:00 in the morning. Our first day at camp was devoted to re- gistration and getting settled in our assigned cabins. The second day began with the schedule that would be carr.ed out the rest of the week. Breakfast 'was served in two shifts fas were all the other mealsj at 7:00 oclock in the morn- ing. After breakfast we had a review of these day's events, group singing and a speaker, for which everyone was assembled. Later in the morning we broke up inLo what we called club clinics. In these clinics girls gave suggestions as to what different clubs could do in the fol- lowing year, asked advice on club problems, and gained new ideas to take home to their club from other girls. After lunch some free time which we used to write letters or rest. From 3:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon we had recreation. During this time different forms of recreation were under- taken. Swimm'ng, boating, and hiking were popular. One day we went to Praire du Chien, Wisconsin. There was usually something planned for the evenings. One of the first parties we had was a get-acquainted party. Worsliip meeting was held every evening before we retired. Lights out was at 10:15 and everyone was to be in bed by 10:00.

Besides the Y- Teens, there was also on the program, Mrs. Willard Zierold and Elmer Dietrich. In the month of March a number of the Y- Teens also attended a music conference in Des Moines. -Virginia Metz MEMORIES OF Y-TEENS As I look back to my freshmen year in high school I remember the tme when I was ap- proached by a Girl Reserve, as the club was then known, to become a member of this organ- ization. I did not know what to expect of the club, but I joined and from that year was al- ways ready to renew my membership. I always found our annual social events as the mother-daughter banquet, dad-daughter ban- quet, Christmas parties, and Easter egg hunts very enjoyable. But our carnival has been to me the most interesting and enjoyable project of my four years as a Y-Teen. We had fun in preparing for it even though it meant lots of work and time. We were happily rewarded for our work by our success in it. Our adviser, Miss Moershel, was always ready to lend a helpful hand and give a word of advice when- ever needed by one of the girls. To some Y-Teens the club might mean a source of social events and entertainment. It is true we have many such activities, but we al- so dwell on more serious ones. These are our worship meetings and world fellowship meet- ings, which I remember as always being very effective and beautiful. To me the club meant a way of getting ac- quainted and working with girls of my own age. I think there is no greater satisfaction than to be able to work with a group of indivi- duals and accomplish what you have set out to do. I certainly experienced this in my work on committees and as a member of the cabinet. Then we can learn to know, to know and understand ourselves and others what we do and why. This phrase taken from the Y-Teen Our Song summarizes what I have learned and will remember as a member of such a fine organization as the Y-Teens. -Lillian Dickel
